Lindsey Vonn, the former Olympic alpine skiing champion, is preparing for a ninth surgery as she continues to manage the long-term effects of her competitive career. The procedure, details of which have not been disclosed, marks another step in her ongoing recovery process.
According to a report by Matthew Futterman in The Athletic, Vonn's future in sports remains uncertain following the operation. The 2010 Olympic downhill gold medalist has previously undergone multiple surgeries on her knees and other injuries sustained during her racing career. After this latest procedure, Vonn and her team will evaluate her condition before deciding on any further athletic endeavors.
